It also explains how Petunia knows as much as she does about the Wizarding World. The definition of a muggle is a non-magic person - which would technically include squibs (though squib is used to distinguish the wizard parents. . . ).
Just another theory to throw out until we get books 6 and 7. . .

Exactly how do you define mudblood, though? Does the slur apply only to people completely muggleborn, or can it apply to halfbloods? The books haven't really demonstrated how precise it is.
